The victim was sitting in a car and the shooter was outside, on the passenger side.

The victim, who was not identified, was flown by helicopter to MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland.

Arbogast said the bullet “went through his arm and into his chest.”

A condition report from the hospital was not available Thursday night.

Arbogast said nearby officers responding to the report of a shooting quickly captured the suspect, who had fled on foot, a short distance away.

“He’s in custody; he didn’t get that far,” the chief said.

Arbrogast said officers also found a revolver nearby, behind the Bill Doraty Kia dealership.
